Color and creativity come together, yet again, in this exciting workshop designed for young artists aged 8-12. 

This kids' watercolor workshop expands on previous lessons, instructed by teaching-artist Jean Vandervaart, by introducing the technique of negative (space) painting to achieve unique Cryptid and Spirit-themed works of art. 

Negative painting is a method in which the background is painted dark, allowing the lighter color to appear as the design or "positive" shape.  

Whether a budding artist or someone who just loves to get creative, this class offers a supportive and inspiring environment for all skill levels. We invite kids to expand their imagination with watercolor!  Supplies/materials are included with registration.

Teen Art Camp July 28th

$235

with Sara Severns, Jessica Held

Calendar Jul 28, 2025 at 10 am, runs for 1 week

Teen Art Campers are provided in-depth opportunities to explore visual art media and making. Small groups allow for collaboration with each other and the experienced Teaching Artists. All stages of the creative process are emphasized -- concept, planning, and execution.

This summer, campers will discover the art of printmaking with Sara Severns, learning techniques like linocut and screen printing. They'll explore how printmaking can be used in both fine art and streetwear design, gaining practical experience in creating their own prints.

With Jessica Held, campers will explore fiber arts through batik and embroidery. They'll experiment with wax resist and dye to create unique fabric designs and practice embroidery stitches to add texture and detail to their work.

Throughout the week, teens will build confidence in their artistic abilities, express themselves freely, and connect with peers who share their passion for art!

Payment plan available: $50 deposit plus 2 payments of $61.66, paid every two weeks. Final payment of $61.68.
